Dear Sir,
Mr. Gullbrant has transmitted to me the enclosed power of attorney to receive and forward the amount of pension due to Deborah Fullerton, to Greenford County. The power of attorney is dated more than forty  ninety days prior to the time of my presenting it to the office of the agency in Philadelphia, and they have declined paying it on that account. Will you have the kindness to direct the agent to pay it, as the delay has arisen in consequence of an unavoidable absence on my part from the city. I am certain from Mr. Gullbrant's high character as a man, that all is right.
Your attention to this will be gratifying to all concerned.
Yours,

Thomas Fullerton, late a private in the army of the rebellion, produces the following additional testimony in his case to enable him to be placed on the pension list of the United States - The said Thomas Fullerton having been duly sworn before the Subscriber, an associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Crawford County, deponeth and saith, that the situation of his land, which he returned in his schedule of property to the War Department, is such, that it is impossible for him to make a living upon it - It is situate upon French Creek, which often rises to such a height, that it is often entirely covered with water, which has sometimes been five feet deep in his house - There are but about twenty acres which have been cleared and cul- tivated, and almost every spring the fences have been car- ried off with the high water - The residue of the land is not fit for cultivation, being nearly all a swamp, and nothing could be raised on it but grass - The said Thos. Fullerton states, that he firmly believes there is no person would take his land and pay the taxes for it

On the 12 th day of February 1824, personally appeared before the Subscriber, an associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Crawford County, George Black and James Fleming, who having been duly sworn as the law directs, did declare and say, that they are well acquainted with Thomas Fullerton and his land, being his near neighbours. They are well convinced of the truth of his deposition on the other side of this paper. His land is of but little use to him; he is not able to cultivate any land to advantage, from his advanced age and lame leg, more particularly the land he claims, which cannot be cultivated to advantage by any person, owing to the causes which he has stated in his deposition. The hundred acres of land he claims, he had settled on under John Field or his agent; no absolute title has ever been made to him for said land, as three deponents firmly believe.

I write you concerning a great great grandfather of mine, Thomas Pallinton by name, whom tradition says fought in the famous & famous battle of Bunker Hill. I know he was in the Revolution, or think he was, but wish very much to know if he really were at Bunker Hill. I understand that the Mass. records are very clear and would establish the truth of the matter if he were in this fight. Now where can I get at this information? Will you kindly answer.

Dear Sirs:
Will you please send me a statement of the military history of Thomas Fullerton, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He drew a pension, which after his death was transferred to his widow. I think he fought at Bunker Hill.

Yours Respectfully.

He has not exhibited a second schedule
but swears, that the situation of the land returned in the schedule is Greek, that it is impossible for him to make a description. It is situated upon a brook which rises to such a height, that it is often entirely covered with water, which has sometimes been 5 feet deep in his house. There are about 20 acres which have been lately cultivated, and almost every spring the fences have been carried off with the high water, the residue of the land is not fit for cultivation. He has procured the affidavits of three persons, duly authenticated, that the land is out of little use to the claimants. That they are well convinced of the truth of claimant's deposition, & that they would not take the land as a gift, to be bound to live upon it, or pay the taxes.
